Endeca Cheat Sheet
Posted on | June 29, 2010 | No Comments
I am simply keeping some notes here as a cheat sheet for when doing development with the Endeca Search platform.
Install mdex, iapworkbench, cas, platformservice and dstd. Extract the deploymentTemplate into the same MDEX directory – for organization purposes, create a directory called solutions and extract the zip file into that directory. Execute from in the command prompt the deploy.bat file in the bin directory – C:\Endeca\Solutions\deploymentTemplate-3.1\bin. This will generate an output directory which will have the mdex files ready for use.
Next, from within the output directory execute these three commands in order from the Control directory within your output.
initialize_service
load_baseline_test_data
baseline_update
If you run into an error during the baseline_update.bat execution, one place to check is the eac.properties file.
\PlatformServices\workspace\conf\eac.properties – “com.endeca.mdexRoot=” cannot be blank.
example: com.endeca.mdexRoot=C:\\Endeca\\MDEX\\6.1.3
Add the value then restart the Endeca HTTP service.
Now try to connect using the http://localhost:8888/endeca_jspref/ url. The default port for the sample application is 15000 which is the port for the dgraph1 service.
Hopefully this gets you started.
